SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / BCN) ― San Francisco and Oakland brightened up Friday evening when Christmas trees were lit during ceremonies at Ghiradelli and Jack London squares.

In the ceremony at Jack London Square in Oakland, Mayor Ron Dellums flipped the switch on the 4,500 energy efficient lights covering the 55-foot tall tree.

Prior to that tree lighting, choirs from throughout the Bay Area will competed in the High School Choir Competition, followed by other local bands.
